- [VO] To be in the water.

Like flying ...

Like flying underneath it.

- [announcer] Swimmers to your mark.

Set!

(horn sounds)

In the water ...

I am free.

(gentle music begins)

- Do you see him?

- I think so

yeah!

I can see Mike too.

- Hey mama.

- Well, look at you.

- Yep.

Yeah

look at that.

- Well, you look gorgeous.

- Emma, look who's here.

- Mom they're talking.

- [man #1] You still glad you run off in such a hurry

and got your own boat?

- [man #2] I don't know.

Half of everything I'm pulling in is dead.

- Yeah, same story.

- I'm wrapping it up. You coming in?

- No, I'm gonna keep at it a little bit.

- [Emma/VO] It was my dad who taught me how to swim.

He took me in the water

lifted me up ...

and said ...

look at you ...

you're flying.

(high pitched tone)

- [man] Emma!

- Somebody call an ambulance!

(Emma coughs)

- There you go.

There you go.

- [Emma's mom] Why did you swim with your head hurting?

- I don't know.

- Okay, sweetheart.

Sleep tight.

- Alright.

Mom?

Can you leave it cracked please?

Okay?

- [Emma's mom] She could need surgery if her hearing bones are damaged -

- Julia, we don't know all that yet.

- I'll see you soon. Drive safe.

Bye bye.

- You got insurance?

- We don't know what

we're dealing with here.

- Dad?

- You're gonna break that chair.

- Look, we'll figure it out.

Look, they don't hardly pay unless you're dying anyway.

What about the house?

You could sell the house.

The bank owns the house.

- [Mike] What's up little brother?

- [brother] How's Emma?

- [Julia] There might be damage to her inner ear -

- [Emma's dad] Julia, let's just wait until we know.

(steps approach)

(door creaks)

- You!

(Enma laughs)

- Clyde!

- You were sound asleep, huh?

What did you go and do?

- There was this pop,

and then it was like my brain froze.

It was scary.

Yeah.

- Look at your hair goofy!

- I know it is.

Let me see.

Hmmm ...

- Thanks.

I'll see you this evening.

(truck rumbles)

- [man on radio] You're listening to the voice of Maryland's Eastern Shore.

After the break, we'll talk to the head of the Maryland Waterman’s Association

about this years oyster season.

- We'll call you with those results.

And we'll keep our fingers crossed

that you don't need any more tests

right, angel?

(credit machine prints)

(gentle music begins)

- There you go Will.

(music ends)

- Hey, Bruiser.

Want me to give you a push?

- No Dad. My head hurts.

- I'm sorry.

What did the doctor say?

- They don't know anything.

- No?

- Yeah, well you're going to be okay, you know?

- I can't swim, Dad.

- I know.

You hang in there, okay?

Hang in there.

- [Julia] The doctor just called, and the rupture's not healing,

so she's going to have to have the surgery

She said that it is ...

Degenerative. And that she could have permanent hearing loss in that ear,

the longer it goes.

And she's gonna have to have general anesthesia -

which is always dangerous in a child that age.

Surgery could go as high as $15,000.

What are we gonna do Will?

- [Mike] I'm thinking about getting out all together.

I mean, if they treated us like farmers,

that’d be all right.

Pop us a $100,000 not to go waterin'?

Wouldn't that be all right?

- I don't know Mike.

- I could get used to it.

Maybe crabbing season will be better, huh?

- Maybe so Mike.

(soft suspenseful music begins)

(porch door slams)

- [man on radio] It's 4:43 a.m.

You're listening to the voice of Maryland's Eastern Shore

86.2 FM

Hight tide today will be at 5:04

and low tide is at 11am.

After the break we'll do a preview of Orioles spring training

And then we’ll talk to -

(engine starts, rumbles)

(music intensifies)

(loud crash)

(water gurgles)

(boat groans)

- Mayday! This is will Tyler -

off Oxford point in the Julia III.

I'm going down.

I'm going down.

- [Emma/VO] Everybody wants something they can't have.

I don't know who keeps them from it.

God or somebody maybe.

- Hello? We're there dumbo!

(bright music begins)

- [man] Afternoons are best, but-

-come when you can.

- Thanks, Heyward.

- Sorry to hear about Will and the boat and all.

- Well, it's just his pride now.

- (chuckles) Is that all?

- Thanks.

- [crab buyer] Two's here? - Yeah.

- [voice on tape] Let's talk about dreams.

What is your dream?

Say it with me.

I believe in my dreams.

- I believe in my dreams.

- [voice on tape] I believe in my dreams.

Good.

Now, doesn't that sound good?

(Emma humming)

- [Emma/VO] There was this girl.

She didn't know where she was going

or what she was doing.

(mysterious music begins)

Maybe

she was a rock star.

Or from the circus.

Maybe

she opened the cages

and set all the animals free.

Maybe they were after her.

Maybe she was in trouble.

(police siren)

Or maybe she was somebody’s friend,

and they were thinking about her.

Wondering how she was doing.

(police siren)

Wondering where she’d run to

Wondering ...

if she'd ever put the pieces together.

(music ends)

- [Clyde] Excuse me, ma'am?

Ma'am, what are you doing?

- Are you a real cop?

- Yeah.

- You don't look like a real cop.

- Hey!

Now, that's not funny.

- Wasn't meant to be funny,

it was meant to be ironic.

- All right, I'm gonna have to ask you

to come out of the pool.

I'm-I’m serious, ma'am!

You can't stay here.

- Why not?

Please.

- It's not your house.

- Well, it used to be.

- What seems to be lacking, officer?

- All right, ma'am, stay in the car.

- Hey, Clyde.

How's your dad doing?

- He's fine Shellie., thanks.

Listen, uh - I got a woman here,

Amanda Merrill Young,

she claims to be your niece.

- You can't sell it Shellie

it's my house!

- Whoa, ma'am!

Back in the car!

Back in the car!

- Merrill?

- [Merrill] Hi, aunt Shellie.

- [Shellie] It's been so long,

I didn't know ...

Honey?

What has happened to you?

- [Shellie] I'm sorry about the house.

Merrill.

She's not there anymore, you know -

- Don't.

- [Shellie] Okay,

We'll take the house off the market.

But I never know

if your addresses were good.

- [Will] Okay Emma.

Now, each trough -

is for a different stage of peeler. See?

And then they.

They move on down the line here.

All right?

Now, this bean right here,

you gotta watch the closest,

‘cause they get soft the quickest.

They get soft like that

and the other ones'll eat 'em for lunch.

And we don't want that do we?

- Dad?

- Green peelers you don't need to worry about

I'll check them.

- [Emma] All right.

Dad?

- Hmmm?

- Was it scary when the boat sank?

- Sure honey ...

Sure.

- Did you think you might die?

- Well, I was scared, but ...

everything worked out all right.

- [Will] There's nothing for you to worry about.

Okay?

- All right.

- [Emma] Are those ones dead?

- [Will] No, no, they're just sleeping.

- [Emma] What kind of peeler would I be?

- [Will] I don't know.

I might have to check your back fin to be sure.

(laughs) Come on, you little crabby !

- Dad!

- You know what?

You are a green peeler.

You got a couple of years yet.

- No I don't.

- (chuckles) Oh, yes you do.

In fact, you go on this bin

- No!

Right here.

- Emma?

Can you help me in the house?

- Go on.

(Emma sings)

(Emma hums)

- Hi, I'm Emma.

- Shellie's not here.

- Okay, well ...

I got a magazine

if you want to look at it with me.

I just got to go get it.

(porch door shuts)

(water faucet runs)

(Emma shrieks)

- [Clyde] Hey now Emma!

That's against the law.

You want me to arrest you?

- I don't care.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

I'm in a bad mood.

- You?

You're too young to be in a bad mood -

- Shows what you know!

That girl at Shellie's was mean to me.

- What did she do?

- Nothing.

- What did you do?

- Nothing!

Forget it. Clyde.

I got to go get my bag from there.

- Well, come on,

I want to talk to her anyway.

- About being mean to me?

- Sure.

Disturbing the peace of a local.

Town ordinance 535 - we can't have that.

Come on you crazy little one-eared vandal.

- Merrill?

Clyde Tyler,

[Clyde] the police officer you met before.

- You didn't have to call the cops.

- What?

- Emma can't hear so good.

- Shut up Clyde!

- Is he mean to you?

- [Emma] No, he's just my brother.

- Ohhhh ...

Here.

- I'm the youngest.

What about you?

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

- Okay Emma -

Why don't you go get your bike?

Go on.

- Gosh.

- [Clyde] So, is everything

working out for you?

Good.

We were at Glenwood Elementary

the year that you were here.

I looked it up.

- Wow.

- Yeah, I checked the title on the house

and it is yours.

I mean, it was your mom's,

but now it's yours and Shellie's.

You don't wanta talk about that.

Yeah, I realized

I didn't know who owned the place.

And then your name rang a bell.

So I checked the yearbook.

There you were

best picture in the book.

(laughs)

There was no picture.

Yep.

- [Emma] Dork.

I was a couple of years

behind you.

Clyde. Tyler.

[Clyde] Anyway, um ...

if you're staying a while

there's nothing to do around here,

so maybe we could do something sometime.

- Why?

- It might be nice.

- It might not.

- Well, that's true of most things.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Kay.

- [Clyde] Okay, I'll call you sometime.

Okay, I'll see you.

Okay.

- You're weird.

- What!?

- Hey Emma.

Do you want to come inside

and read that magazine with me for a while?

- Sure.

- [Emma] Did you draw those?

- [Merrill] Yeah.

- [Emma] Weird.

- Yeah.

How old are you?

- Eleven.

- Eleven.

- Yeah.

What?

- I was eleven too.

- Hey, how was it?

- Gretchen Riley called me a deaf retard.

- Which one's Gretchen Riley?

- Forget it Dad. Let's just go.

- [Emma] Dad, look! There's the boat.

- [Will] No Emma, that's what's left.

The boat's dead.

This won't take a minute.

- [Will] Hey, Russell.

How are you?

- [Russell] Baltimore office run you through the computer

and they sent a surveyor down - that's standard.

- [Will] $5,500?

- [Russell] Picked up the two priors -

- [Will] Who can I talk to about this?

- [Russell] If you press, they’re gonna want to interview people

Mike certainly.

- Mike quit months before any of this.

- He worked with you Will.

- Come on.

- You accept partial and it's approved to five and a half - right here.

[Russell] That I can do.

- Five and a half?

I can't cover bills and bait with $5,500 Russell.

Look at this.

- Will -

- [Will] Motor is shot full of salt water.

You're saying because I've got alcohol priors ...

This is a total loss here, Russell.

[Will] Do you have any idea what you're doing?

[Will] Do you know what my situation is?

- I think I do know your situation Will.

- What?

- [Russell] You didn't try to patch her.

You didn't run her ashore.

- What are you talking about!?

I was sinking I put the call out!

- Hell fight it.

But get yourself a lawyer

and listen to ‘em.

Because if they find anything,

they're gonna pin your ass to the wall.

You gotta watch your ass with these people Emma.

[Will] I'll tell you that.

Beautiful sunny day

There's no need for you to worry about any of that.

We're fine.

Back mortgage, bills.

I'll get a job.

- What happened?

- Alcohol priors.

I don't know.

We'll figure it out.

- [Julia] Will?

Don't leave like that again.

(water lapping)

(delicate music)

- [Emma/VO] Indians was the first ones.

They made boats out of trees

and went out to talk to the crabs and fish

they would say 'hocus pocus'

and crabs would jump into their canoes.

But no one talks to them now.

They just catch them now.

They're out there all winter and summer.

Work so hard

sometimes their hands fall right off.

Hands fallin' off up and down all the boats.

But that's what men do.

They go fish.

- Are you a walk on?

- Yeah. Round trip.

- I'm sorry.

It's my first day.

You okay?

- Yeah. I'm fine.

Merrill?

- Yeah?

- Well, I know someone who likes you.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Emma.

- Is she yours?

- Yeah, she's mine.

- She's a great kid.

- Thanks.

- [Emma] There is this guy, Greg.

He plays baseball.

He's the catcher.

- Does he know?

- No. I think he's my boyfriend, though.

When I look at him, I think that.

- Have you kissed him?

- What?

(kissing sounds)

Noooo.

- Do you want to?

- Well, yeah.

Sort of.

But I can't just go up to him and-

- Absolutely yes you can.

You just walk right into that dugout

and you say, “Greg. Oh, Greg -”

“- Kiss me.”

“Kiss me the way a catcher kisses me.”

- (laughs) No way!

- Fine. Suit yourself.

My brother likes you.

- I know.

- Do you like him?

- I don't know.

- Yes, I like him.

- Are you his girlfriend?

- No, Emma.

I'm no one's girlfriend.

- She likes you.

- Oh, yeah? Who?

- You know who!

Now you have to be really nice and pay for everything.

- Wha-at?

- Clyde, this is important.

If she likes you

we can all run away together.

- Okay.

Okay.

What's the plan?

- [male customer] So, rollers, brushes,

paint for the guesthouse.

I want to put a deck around the hot tub

out back by the gazebo.

My neighbor told me I need 200 linear feet

of two buy something.

- Okay. That's pressure treated lumber,

which we'll get out back.

More than likely, you're gonna to need some galvanized screws.

- Thanks. I've never done this before.

- That makes two of us.

- I took early retirement.

This is our first year living here full time.

I thought I'd spruce things up

- Good for you.

- Anything I can do to help you there?

- How about a $10,000 tip?

- You wanna get a drink?

- No.

I mean, you know, I probably shouldn't.

You're kind of a moody,

repressed person, aren't you?

- No. I'm a pretty even-keeled guy.

- No, you're not.

I think you better take me back.

Officer.

- Do you want a blow job?

I don't fuck, but I'll give you a blowjob.

- Wha-at?

Stop.

- I probably shouldn't have done this.

You know, I'm not really.

All right.

- Merrill.

Merrill.

Merrill!

- [Shellie] Hi.

Woah Clyde!

Hi, Clyde.

How are you?

- Hi, Shellie

Good night.

- [Shellie] Good night.

- Dad?

- Hey, Clyde.

Uh, just looking for Emma's bike.

I guess she picked it up this afternoon after all.

How ya doing son?

- I think I'm losing my mind.

- Yeah, well.

Good night son.

- Oh, they kept you late.

- Yeah.

Sorry.

- How was it?

- I'll find something else.

- What?

- I quit.

- Will?

- [Julia] Smile!

Smile.

- Why are you doing this, mom?

- Look sweet Emma. Okay?

- I don't feel sweet.

I feel hot and stupid

and you never told me what this is for.

- Emma, please.

I don't have a nice picture of you, and I want one.

Okay? So smile.

This isn't a nice picture.

Look at this dress.

No one wears a stupid dress like this -

- Emma!

Just smile!

Just be quiet and stand there and smile

at the damn camera!

I'm sorry.

I am.

Just do your mother a favor please -

and please, please smile.

(sobs)

- Mom?

- [Emma/VO] Because of my ear.

They think I can't see.

- Hi, dad.

- [Will] Julia!

Julia!

What are those jars doing all over town?

- [Julia] Don't yell at me.

- Well, we're not begging you hear me?

- Well, what are we doing Will?

We got a payment plan with the doctor and we're not paying.

- I don't care. I don’t want those jars all over this town.

Makes us look like beggars.

I don't know what on earth you’re thinking ...

- [Emma/VO] Because of my ear,

I can see.

- Good morning.

Eight fifty-eight.

- [Will] Thank you.

- [Emma/VO] Because of my ear.

They think I'm invisible.

Sometimes ... they're right.

- [Emma] What happened?

- Did you fall?

- I’m sorry.

- Hey.

- [Emma] Hey.

- Whatcha doin'?

- Nothing. I was just hanging out.

- It's okay.

I don't mind.

[Merrill] This is where I go sometimes.

- Did you swim here?

- Yeah.

- Did you race?

- No.

I used to swim around wishing my mother would die.

- Yeah, I wish that sometimes, too.

- Mine did though.

- What?

- Die.

- [Emma] Oh. How?

- She bled to death.

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

[Merrill] Did I freak you out?

- A little.

- You do a little culling this morning?

- Running that good Sonny?

- No, but I'm sick and tired of watching proggin’ around the dock

looking for a way to die. Come on.

- Thanks, Mr. Brinkman.

- [Mr. Brinkman] Hope it helps, Julia.

- Oh it will. Bye.

- Appreciate it.

You worked didn't ya?

Right.

Take these peelers.

I haven't got time for 'em.

- Haven't got time for 'em?

Thanks, Sonny.

- [Will] Will this cover it?

- Yeah.

- Oh -

I'll take one of these.

- There ya go.

- Hey, sweetheart.

- What happened to you?

- Got some extra work.

Sonny gave me some peelers.

I figured I'll fill up the tank,

get that started.

- Okay.

- Where's Emma?

- Out on her bike.

- How are you?

- Will, I got money on my brain,

so I can't get excited about your $20.

- Yeah, well it wasn't $20

that I was offering ya.

- Where else has your money been?

- What is that supposed to mean?

- I don't know.

But I've known you for a long time Will,

don't forget.

- [Emma] See, what they're gonna do is

they're gonna to take out all this stuff

and put in this little, tiny

plasticky thingy.

Then I'm going to wear a bandage for some more,

and then it'll be almost as good as this one.

- [Merrill] Are you scared?

Hey.

Hospitals aren't that bad.

You want to know why they're white?

- Because they're clean?

- No.

So if you're dying, you'll think the hospital is heaven.

- How do you know?

- I thought I was going to heaven once,

and I woke up in a hospital.

- Well, why were you there?

- They wanted me to talk.

- And you wouldn't?

- No.

- So they put you in a hospital?

For how long?

- It was almost a year.

- [Emma] And you didn't talk the whole time?

- [ Merrill] Not till the end.

- I don't believe you.

- Okay.

- Anyway, I wanta know which is the hospital so I can come back.

- [Julia] Keep that ear tilted.

- When I get my operation, could I die?

- No.

- If I did die, where would I go?

- [Julia] Heaven.

- But how would I know it was heaven?

- [Julia] Just.

Just keep your head still Emma please.

- [Julia] Stay here.

(door bangs)

- [Will] Dammitt!

- [Julia] I don't have time to watch you fall apart.

Now get it together.

'Cause I'll shoot you if you keep this up.

Now be quiet.

- Who's gonna hear huh?

I mean, that's the point isn't it?

That's the trouble.

- Don't start, Will.

- What do I know?

Huh?

I'm just a goddamn dollar sign around here - isn’t that right?

A paycheck on two legs ...

I tell you what!

You get - you get enough of those jars around town -

you just cut me loose altogether!

- You don’t like it? Fine! But Emma needs to know -

- Oh! Emma needs, Emma needs, Emma needs!

I know what Emma needs!

I know what you need!

I know what I need!

I know everything!

[Will] Everything I've worked for ...

- [Julia] Let me get that for you Will.

- [Will] Hard days work.

Come home.

Chat with my loving wife.

[Will] What do you say? Let's ...

[Will] What do ya say let's go upstairs and rattle the headboard.

- Why? Your other girl shoot you down?

- What?

- [Julia] You heard me.

- I don't have another girl -

- Shellie?

- Shellie?

- Ohh ...

With the - with the shop there?

Yeah, she's -

she's a friend of mine.

[Will] We talk.

I've been short on -

friendly ears around here lately, you know.

- Don't play games Will.

What happened?

- [Will] Nothing.

- Nothing?

Will - ?

- [Will] I mean.

What?

- I was -

I was over there,

and I ran into her, and we went out,

and we got one beer.

[Will] that's all really. I mean -

- Hush. I don't want to hear it.

- When did you get so hard?

- [Julia] When did I get - ?

You're blaming me?

- [Will] Look, I take a moment to breathe

and you're crawling all over me.

I'm kind of old to start from scratch, you know!

- [Julia] Will, I don't have the time

or the energy or the heart to chase you!

or the energy or the heart to chase you!

I'm getting through this.

And so is Emma!

- Julia, don't you walk out on me dammitt.

[Will] Julia!

- Merrill!

Hey, Merrill!

Hey.

- Hey. What'd you do? Break out?

- Yeah.

Can I ask you a favor?

- Sure.

- [Merrill] Are you sure about this?

- Yeah.

[Merrill] Hey, um I was wondering

that yellow thing up there?

How much does that cost?

- That's uh ...

- Thank you!

- [Merrill] There was this girl.

- [Emma] How old?

- Twelve maybe.

She came home from a party.

She's supposed to spend the night at a birthday party,

but she got scared, so she came home.

She went through the front door,

but her mom wasn't there.

So she went upstairs to her room.

And she sat up there for awhile.

She could hear the water dripping.

But her mom didn't answer.

So she went into her mother's room.

And then she went to the bathroom

where the water was.

And her mom was in the tub.

She needed to get clean.

The girl started breathing... really hard.

And she screamed at her mother,

she screamed and screamed,

but she wouldn't get out of the tub.

So she came downstairs.

And she sat down here for a while.

She started thinking about things, you know, like ...

the names of old dolls and stuff like that

just waiting for her mom

to finish her bath.

So, she stood up -

but something happened and she fell down.

But she knew she wanted to

get to the pool, so she just started crawling.

Yeah, but she was breathing too hard -

so she flopped over on her back,

and then her eyes were closing

and opening and closing.

And she could see the stars.

And then she couldn't.

and then she could.

And then it was dark.

- What was your mom like?

- She was beautiful.

And very brave.

- And she was tired and scared,

and she wanted it to be quiet.

- Did it work?

- I don't know.

- [Julia] What is going on with you?

- [Emma] Nothing.

- [Will] Oh, Em.

We just need to pull together here ya know?

What do you say?

[Will] Huh, peeler?

- I'm a girl, Dad.

I'm not some crab you can stick in the refrigerator.

I am a girl.

- Okay.

- Was this Merrill's idea?

- No.

- Who dyed it?

- She did.

- And took the pictures?

- Mmm-hmmm.

- You're gonna put all these jars back like they were.

- No, I'm not.

Go up to your room.

Now!

- Well.

I should go with you.

- [Shellie] Merrill?

I've got Chardonnay and beer.

I'm going to have Chardonnay.

What can I get you?

- Nothing. Thank you.

- Oh!

Please sit down.

Merrill?

You know, Julia.

What can I get you Julia?

- I'm fine.

- Is Emma in trouble?

- [Shellie] Oh, I think I have some chips

- Sit down Shellie.

Now, Emma has been spending

quite a bit of time here,

and I appreciate it ...

but I'm sure you're tired of her tagging along.

- No, I'm not.

She's my best friend.

- Yes. Well,

I don't think that's such a good idea.

I don't know exactly what happened

with this hair business,

but Emma's going to be at home

from now on.

- Well, can I come see her there?

- [Julia] No.

I'd appreciate it if you

didn't talk to her at all for awhile.

- This isn't really about me and Emma is it?

- She's just a little girl Merrill -

- She's not just a little girl.

[Merrill] She's terrified.

She feels everything.

And she's scared of dying.

And the hospital.

And she knows that something is wrong at home.

And if you -

- [Julia] But it is her home,

[Julia] And she is my daughter.

And when you're gone, I'll still be here.

Just like I'm here now

after my husband lost his boat

and started screwing around with Shellie!

- I'm so, so sorry, I -

- For what exactly?

- He was so upset, and I - I ...

[Shellie] I have an instinct to comfort, Julia ... I -

I've been so torn up over this,

I really have.

- Yes, well I'm sure you will be fine.

Good night.

- Julia, please!

- How dare you!?

I know you're angry Julia,

but please understand.

- Understand?

I am trying to hold a family together here

can you understand that!?

- Mom?

Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Is it Emma? Is it Dad? What -?

- No, no, everything is fine.

Clyde, how are you?

- I'm good.

- Good.

- Good night Clyde.

- [Julia] Do you know how hard

we're working to take care of you?

- I don't care.

- Well, you will care!

I don't want you going out on your back for awhile.

Got it?

- Mom, I have to see Merrill.

- I don't want you over there, honey.

Okay?

I don't expect you to understand.

- Mom, I have to talk to her.

- What did I say?

- [Clyde] You wanta swim?

- No.

- [Clyde] Why not?

Beautiful day.

Come on,

I'm not gonna dunk you or anything, I promise.

You can trust me you know.

- I know.

What?

- [Clyde] I'm just surprised

you wanted to see me again, that’s all.

- Well I do.

- Shellie here?

- Uh-uh (negative).

- Okay.

- Oh. What are these about?

- Oh, they’re just doodles, ya know

housewives on valium (laughs), ya know.

That one's about you

- Really? - No

I'm not turning into a princess

in the allotted time here, you know.

- Okay.

- (laughs) Wha-? Why -?

-why are you doing that?

- Because you want it.

Because it will make me feel

very, very alive.

You do want it don't you?

Just a little bit.

- Yeah. Yeah I just-

- Are you a virgin?

- No.

- [Merrill] Are you sure?

- Pretty sure.

- [Merrill] Why don't you take off your clothes

and tell me about it.

- Hey. Come on.

I just -

I'd like to get to know you.

- My mother cut herself 16 times,

it proved fatal.

Do you know me now? Huh?

- What?

Hold on a second. Just - shhhh.

- Shhhh!

You gonna hear it all

and then love me, Clyde?

Is that it?

We'll talk after.

Hmmm?

Huh?

- No. I'm sorry.

Maybe I should just go.

- No-no-no! Please. Please!

- What do you want me to do?

Alirght? What would you do?

- I'll show you.

I'd touch me.

I'd say you can trust me.

Then I'd tell you,

You're my one and only

and everything will be fine.

Pumpkin.

And I’d touch your hair

and your chest.

Shhh - my sweet.

- Merrill.

Look at me.

- And I'd shove my hand down your panties

and make you cry.

- What the fuck is the matter with you!?

Huh?

You wanta fight? Huh?

- Yeah

- Is this what you want?

- Yes

- Don't stop.

Don't stop!

Come here.

- What the hell is the matter with you?

- You have to stop this!

If you could settle down

for one minute Merrill!

- [Merrill] I know, I know, I know-

You liked it.

(she laughs0

You liked it. You did, you did, you did -

- No

God!

If you could just be

- Normal?

- Yeah!

- Yeah ...

Why don't you do me a favor?

And get the hell out of here.

[Merrill] Did you hear me?

I want you to get out.

Get out!

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Let me get a shot of bourbon.

- Whoah! (laughs) Oh, easy, girl.

[Mike] You want a beer? - No.

- [Emma/VO] There was this girl.

She lost something a long time ago.

(water gurgles)

She was scared.

This girl ...

She was just my friend.

(music brightens)

(music ends)

- [Julia] Welcome home Emma.

- Thank you all and I love you very much.

- [Will] Grace, everyone.

- Since when?

- Just do as you're told, Mike okay?

[Will] Dear Lord, we thank you

for the bounty we're about to enjoy.

Bless our family gathered here today.

We especially thank you for

seeing Emma through her operation.

Amen.

- [All] Amen.

(whacks mallet)

- [Mike] It's a portable water filter system Mom.

Everybody wants clean drinking water.

Am I right?

This is gonna be big.

See the Japanese have been using this for-

- Dad, can I talk to you for a second?

- Just a second here Clyde.

- [Mike] The water goes through here

and it - it adds stuff,

minerals and - and - whatnot

that our system

and even Mother Nature ... take out.

- I'm getting a boat.

- [Mike] This is the personal -

- [Will] A what?

- Maybe part time to start.

- [Mike] Taste it.

- [Clyde] I just thought you might be interested.

- No, I'm done with all that Clyde.

- See? The way this works, see

is I get enough people

and that's the first level.

And then I move on to the silver level

and then the gold level.

- [Clyde] We could be out there this fall Dad.

- [Will] You got a good job, Clyde.

- I'm quitting.

- What are you talking about?

- Can you let Mike finish?

- Clyde!

- I'm practicing my demo?

- I'm not talking to you Mike!

- Just ease up here, all right Clyde?

Let him finish. Go ahead Mike.

- Well, being a cop was never my idea.

- Look, being a waterman's a dead end Clyde.

You got a good job, you see that through.

I tried a partner, it didn't work out, alright?

[Will] Come on now, Mike. Finish up.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Will, can we drop this?

- [Clyde] That was Mike.

[Clyde] But you can't trust Mike.

- Everybody knows that.

- Come on Clyde, show some respect.

- You talking to me about respect?

- Yeah!

- Oh, I'm not afraid you any more, Mike.

[Clyde] I'm warning you.

- Oh, okay, you warn me then.

- [Clyde] Well, I am warning you. - Will?

Would you please stop this?

- [Mike] What's your problem?

- Emma, come on. Let's you and me

- [Julia] go upstairs-

- No!

- [Will] Hey! Hold on, hold on here just-

- Why didn't you ask me Dad?

Huh?

- Because you weren't meant for it, Clyde.

- But Mike is?

- Clyde, that's enough.

- How would you know what I'm meant for?

[Clyde] You had an accident. You made a mistake right?

Maybe you're not meant for it.

[Clyce] Do you ever think about that?

[Clyde] What really happened out there, Dad?

- Maybe you were just drunk, like Mike says.

- I didn't say a thing.

- [Julia] Clyde! It was an accident

and it's over

and I don't want any more of this!

- Was Shellie an accident too?

- You shut your mouth.

You listen to me, Clyde.

I was not drunk.

You understand? I made a mistake.

[Will] But the mistake I made

was getting back to shore.

So now I gotta sit around

and listen to every piss-ant part-timer

[Will] bad mouth me.

Emma needed help,

and I couldn't give it to her.

[Will] And she deserved it.

[Will] And I saw a way ...

and I took it.

And I got shot down.

Now, when you've lived long enough,

if you don't think that it would have

crossed your mind ...

You come back and tell me then ...

But don’t you stand here and tell me now.

[Will] You understand?

- It was a submerged piling.

I knew it was there.

And I ...

I just thought she was worth more

on the bottom, ya know?

- We could've lost out there, Will.

- Julia.

I'm sorry.

- [Merrill] Hi, Clyde.

Your mother said I should come by

as a surprise for Emma.

See?

Am I early-?

I don't think you belong here.

- You're being mean.

Why are you being mean?

- You think you're the only one that can be mean?

That was my brother!

I'm sorry Clyde.

I'm sorry - it's something -

I just -

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing I can say.

- Just leave. Just go.

Okay?

- Clyde

- You don't belong

Just go!

- Please!

- Why are you still standing there?

Go home!

- Who's out there?

- [Clyde] No one.

- Can I open it?

- Yeah, sure. Open it.

Let's see what's in it!

- Merrill!

Clyde, where is she?

Told her to go home.

- [Julia] Now, what did you do that for?

- Why don't you ask Mike?

- Taking this a little far

don't you think?

- Merrill?

Merrill!

- [Merrill] I'm right here.

It's okay.

Just go back inside.

I’m fine-

- [Emma] No.

- Did you open your present?

- [Emma] No.

- [Julia] Emma!

[Julia] Merrill? Come on in.

- It's for when your bandage comes off.

- [Julia] She means the world to Emma ...

- [Julia] and you don't know what she's done for this family.

- [Mike] Come on Clyde, I talked to her-

- Oh, Come on! You knew I liked her

but you fucked her anyway!

- [Julia] Settle down!

- [Mike] Somebody had to-

- You knew, you bastard!

- Hey, kiddo!

- [Julia] Clyde! Mike! Stop it!

- [Mike] Get off me.

- [Julia] You two take this outside!

[Julia] Will!

- [Will] Dammitt!

[Will] Get offa him!

(tense music builds)

(bangs mallet)

- Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

- Emma!?

Clyde!

- Hey.

- Hey.

- It's beautiful.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- How about you?

- Just freaked out and screamed

at my family just now.

- You did?

- Yeah.

- How did you know to come here?

- [Emma] You told me the story, remember?

- Right.

The story.

I thought she'd be here.

- [Emma] Your mom?

- Yeah.

I thought I would cry.

[Merrill] Doesn't it seem like I would cry?

- You did though, remember?

- I'm kind of a nut, Emma.

- Me too.

- Hey.

- Okay.

You don't want to say goodbye?

- No.

- Me neither.

- [Merrill] Clyde?

- Yeah?

- Can I ask you a favor?

Can you?

I don't know, from time to time

just let me know how Emma is doing?

How you're doing?

-Mmm-hmm.

- [announcer] Flight 1043 now boarding ..

- I should go.

- [Emma/VO] I know people ...

who forget they're alive.

- Hey pumpkin.

- [Emma/VO] It just slips their mind I guess.

But they keep on going ...

Maybe waiting for somebody to see them.

Maybe hoping to come alive again.

I don't know ...

Sometimes people just forget.

But I am not one of them.

(splash)
